In this paper we describe in architecture that provides for automating and monitoring the flow of control and document over the Internet among different organizations, thereby creating a platform necessary to describe higher order processes involving several organizations and companies. The higher order process is designed through a graphical user interface and is executed through cooperating agents that are automatically initialized at cacti site that the process executes. Agents handle the activities at their site, provide for coordination with other agents in the system by routing the documents in electronic form according to the process description. Tho, system is capable of activating external applications (which may be inside the company firewall) when necessary, keeping track of process information, and providing for the security and authentication of documents as well as, comprehensive monitoring facilities. The architecture is general enough to be applied to any business practice where data flow and invocation of activities among different industries and cooperations follow a pattern that can be described through a process definition, however since the project is on maritime industry, some of the graphical user interfaces are customized accordingly. The system is fully operational for industrial use.

A Petri Net-based inference network for design automation under nondeterminism applied to mechatronic systems Erden, Zühal; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Erden, Abdülkadir (1998-09-11) This paper introduces the completed part of an ongoing research, in which a Petri Net-based design inference network is developed for the representation and analysis of the functions and their interrelationships through information flow for the conceptual design stage of mechatronic systems in order to facilitate design automation. The theoretical framework behind the network is based on transition of Hybrid Automata into Petri Nets and application of this framework is introduced by a mechatronic design exa...
An Infrastructure for Efficient Reporting Workflow in Grid Based Teleradiology Architectures Using Relation Based Semantic Matching and Integer Linear Programming Yilmaz, Ayhan Ozan; Baykal, Nazife (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE); 2014-09-10) This paper proposes an infrastructure with a global workflow management algorithm in order to interconnect facilities and reporting units on a single access interface, decrease the access time of medical images and increase the efficiency of the reporting process. The inspection and radiologist attributes extracted by Grid Agent are modelled using a hierarchical ontology structure based on Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Conformance and DICOM Content Mapping Resource and World Health ...
Achieving Semantic Interoperability in Emergency Management Domain Gencturk, Mert; Evci, Enver; Guney, Arda; Kabak, Yildiray; Erturkmen, Gokce B. Laleci (2017-05-12) This paper describes how semantic interoperability can be achieved in emergency management domain where different organizations in different domains should communicate through a number of distinct standards to manage crises and disasters effectively. To achieve this goal, a common ontology is defined as lingua franca and standard content models are mapped one by one to the ontology. Then, information represented in one standard is converted to another according to the mappings and exchanged between parties.
A method for decentralized business process modeling Türetken, Oktay; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2007) This thesis study proposes a method for organizations to perform business process modeling in a decentralized and concurrent manner. The Plural method is based on the idea that organizations’ processes can be modeled by individuals actually performing the processes. Instead of having a central and devoted group of people to understand, analyze, model and improve processes, individuals are held responsible to model and improve their own processes concurrently. These individual models are then integrated to f...
An automated tool for information security management system Erkan, Ahmet; Arifoğlu, Ali; Department of Information Systems (2006) This thesis focuses on automation of processes of Information Security Management System. In accordance with two International Standards, ISO/IEC 27001:2005 and ISO/IEC 17799:2005, to automate the activities required for a documented ISMS as much as possible helps organizations. Some of the well known tools in this scope are analyzed and a comparative study on them including “InfoSec Toolkit”, which is developed for this purpose in the thesis scope, is given. “InfoSec Toolkit” is based on ISO/IEC 27001:2005...
